~ANNA’S POV~

As I sat in the cab, heading home, my mind refused to shake off the lingering thoughts. The dizziness had subsided, and I suspected the intoxication from the shots at the bar had finally worn off.

After leaving Johnny, I hailed a cab and headed home. But as we approached the mansion, I felt a sudden change of heart. I didn't feel like going inside anymore.

Lately, Kevin had been acting strangely. He had been avoiding me since his return
